Since when DHL Express or Deutsche Post become a freighter operator? Don't mix one of their units actually operates a fleet to serve the group's traffic with making money from that.

DHL is a mail, freight forwarder and express parcel company, it can get a rid of airline tomorrow, substitute all capacity with subchapter and they still will be a fine and profitable business. Now, how many days EAT, DHL Air and Co will survive if they become an open market freight carrier?

Same goes for FedEx, UPS, TNT etc.
